16oz can thanks to JBell14, pours a hazy orange with some creamy, lacing white head. As far as Mosaic profiles go, this doesn’t scream Mosaic, but it is nice, tangerine, orange, grass, mild pine. Flavor has more of the creamcicle/fresh cream notes I tend to pick up with Mosaic, grass and pine and orange peel too. Finishes dry, crisp and bitter.

Thanks Drew.
Can dated 11/29/16.
This was poured into an English pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy crisp yellow color with a fairly lasting finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Moderate messy lace sticks to the sides nicely.
The aroma takes fresh sweet melon, somewhat like honeydew, and then some pineapple and gently touches down upon some bitter pine. Pine gets bolder as it warms. Pine sap seemingly comes about.
The flavor yields nicely to the sweetness but does bring in the bitterness brightly and full. Blended melon to piney aftertaste with a semi-sticky finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a bold sticky resinous body glossing over my tongue. Carbonated nicely as an AIPA, the harshness feels good and appropriate flowing over my tongue.
Overall, extremely well done AIPA that I would love to have again.

Can. It pours a lightly hazed pale yellow/orange color with a foamy white head. The aroma is very fresh with bright dank and lime zest. Not super potent, but fresh and interesting. The flavor has more of the citrus and lime zest up front. Maybe a hint of Kaffir leaf. Very potent along with some strong zesty bitterness. Pale maltiness barely shows up. I’m digging the combination of lime zest and dank, although it’s a bit too bitter especially with the very pale malt profile. Still a fun beer. Well done.

Into a snifter showing lightly filtered honeyed amber with a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows dried pineapple and a lot of big cannabis notes. The palate is full bodied and well carbonated. Notes of big cannabis on the front with barely any bitterness on the back end. The lack of bitterness is really surprising, just a lot of nice cannabis/pine/dried tropical fruit flavor on the front.

Got in a BIF from tasterschoice62. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 2/24/2016. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy golden orange color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, melon, passion fruit, berry, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper/pine, cracker, bread, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of bright/juicy citrus/tropical hops and light-moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, melon, passion fruit, berry, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, cracker, bread, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine/citrus rind/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, melon, passion fruit, berry, lemon/orange rind, pepper, pine, cracker, bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of bright/juicy citrus/tropical/pine hops and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness that increases through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately sticky/resinous, and lightly grainy/bready balanced mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an outstanding IPA! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of bright/juicy citrus/tropical/pine hops and light-moderate pale malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A highly enjoyable offering.

Can shared at Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell - London. Many thanks to Sander and Chris for getting me this one! Pours unclear gold with a white cream topping. Pleasant citrusy hops in the nose, some light pine, peach and nectarine. Medium sweet flavor with light mineral flint, orange, gooey pine, tangerine, moderate bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly resinous in the finish, with more peach, pale bread, mellow oily pine, lingering citrus fruits. Very solid. Highly drinkable.

Craft Clerkenwell. Bottleshare. Thanks to Leighton. Can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and slightly soft. It’s semi dry and has decent fine carbonation. Fluffy creamy sweet malts. Spicy hops, some pine. Citric pith and peel. More hop spice. Orange, Mild skunk. Bitterness blossoms. Light finish. Spicy bitter linger. Nice.

Can split at the pre xmas tasting #Juan, thanks to LKS, 09/12/15. Hazed orange golden with a decent off white covering. Nose is floral hop, sweet notes, orange creme, light pine, soft bread, tangerine. Taste comprises sweet malt, airy, light caramel, tangerine, straw, light pine, trace of dankness comes into play. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with juicy hop bitterness. Decent IPA ... just a touch too sweet and floral to be a great in my book.
